ACI World Traffic Forecasts 2025-2054 establishes a new baseline for global aviation demand. The forecast horizon offers a comprehensive 30-year perspective on global airport demand globally, regionally, and at the country level.

The MS Excel dataset provides granular demand forecasts for short-, medium-, and long-term periods across the following airport traffic categories:

  • Total passengers (international and domestic)
  • Air cargo volumes (in metric tonnes)
  • Total aircraft movements

The latest iteration of this flagship report covers data sourced from 176 markets, introducing 15 new markets, now covering more than 99.9% of ACI World Annual Traffic Report (WATR) markets and a new demand forecast model that leverages cutting-edge machine learning techniques.

This year’s extra Annex “Traffic Trends by Market” provides sharp regional insights into short-term passenger and cargo market dynamics, clarifying recent performance divergences and strengthening interpretation of the ACI World Airport Traffic Forecast’s long-term outlook.

Beyond the projections, the report provides airport planners and investors with detailed analyses of traffic trends, growth contributions, market shares, regional divergence, and other structural factors shaping long-term demand, supporting informed, data-driven decision-making.
